I ducked into the Hidden Starbucks to get a sandwich and a Venti Quad Iced Latte for lunch, then sat down outside on the parapet of the weird little plaza to eat. There were a few salariemen and women sitting on the curb, eating, drinking coffee and smoking. But once I got up to return to my cubicle, I noticed something very strange. See, there was this woman sitting on the parapet, and she had a blue plastic bucket with soapy water and a washcloth. In her hand she held a particularly gnarly sick pigeon. She was giving the pigeon a bath. Unless she’s washing the poor bird for food (hey, you never know), Nikola Tesla, who lived and worked close by would have approved.

Did you know that you can buy stocks without commission these days? In the past, you had to pay $8-30 for every order, which made buying a few shares impractical. But now there is Robinhood.
No commission, you can gamble with stocks all day long, buying as few shares as you want. A nice jolt of dopamine when your pittance goes up, adrenaline when it goes down. The catch is that they sell trading data to high frequency trading companies and maybe don't offer the best market order execution, but it is still a great deal. Get the app, check it out, and they'll give me (that's why I'm hyping it) and you a free stock (most likely a cheap one, but maybe Google or Amazon)! Happy stock market gambling!
